whats the trick to getting the triple trees off?

i don't have a camera otherwise i would post a pic. i'll see if i can use my parents.

thanks for the diagram atctim, i havent got #11 off yet but trouble i'm having is getting the top tripple off. i have the top domed nut off and the washer but the top tripple won't come off.if you were looking at it it would be a bare frame with just the tripples on it and the top center chrome nut is off also a big washer off so its the tripple with the just the threaded part sticking out.......this is the part where the top tripple should just lift off, correct?

mike thanks x2 for the info but my computer is a POS and i cant down load anything or view pdf's or videos.....my laptop took a junk and i got a old one from my uncle......it was either the 350x or a new laptop......i went with the wheeler, figure tax time will be around the corner.

dirtcrasher.....it was more a gental tap...lol

i think i'll set this aside till i get the book, i don't have much $ to get going on it right now anyways. thanks again guys

rdlsz24 ....ya thats the part thats stuck, the top tripple that the bars bolt to....i have the first nut and washer off but the top and bottom are still stuck solid.....i'm gunna go spray some more PB in there......thanks a bunch i was thinking it might be rust cause the stem is full of it.

That part isn't a press fit in the least. If you have to pound on it, pound UP and not down towards the lower clamp.

It should wiggle right off and it will also spin as the forks keep it in line and nothing else...........

Along the same lines as what Dirtcrasher just said, try grasping the top tripleclamp & turning it until the lower tripleclamp contacts the steering stop, now continue twisting the top tripleclamp in the same direction to break it loose from the steering stem. Try this in alternating directions against both steering stops. Good luck!

thanks guys i've been spraying with a little PB every few hours i'm gunna mess with it in the mornin. i'll let ya's know how it goes.

well after 20 shots of pb threw out last night and this mornin i gave it another go.
i ended up putting the puller back on but only with it pulling a little and then gave it a tap with the rubber mallet and it budged so i set the puller back up and did it again. after the 3rd time it popped off. it was rusty. but then i was so exicted i forgot about not letting the berings go everywhere, and so now i got a mess to clean up but i'm glad i got em off!i am going to need a new nut, the 2nd one i bent on the first attempt with the puller

i gotta get my sx ready for hunting/ice fishing then i'm gunna start more on the x.

i'm sure i'll have more questions for ya's, thanks again for the help guys.
